Than may it be counted, if I add in people (subjects?) of Rhudaur? I mean, it was an independent country at one moment (part of former Northern Kingdom), so, probably its people thought of themselfs as Dunedain andRhudaurians, or something? The next letter would be R again, though

Snow-trolls- mentioned in passing, apparently trolls that lived in the north, where there was snow.

One question (mainly because I find it hard to find race on S , but not only becuase of that) - if race is in English plural, it inevitably has an s on end. So most of what we come up with would be starting with s. I have a suggestion than - maybe it's better to have words that are not in elvish plural, like sindar, in english singular? I know it means I have to change Rhudaurians to mere Rhudaur in that case, but as Sophia already answered, let it start with ehr Snow Trolls? I mean, it will be Snow Troll, and the next should be L?

THe question is to moderator. I believe I mean Saucepan Man here

Sophia is not moderator, but she'll venture an opinion. There are lots of plurals ending in "s", but the goal of the game is to land someone with a letter they can't use. We don't want to stay on races forever. So as soon as the "s" words have been exhausted the topic will change, and who knows whether that will be something where plural is relevant.

Saucy says?

Sophia

Silvan Elves, than. Also called Woodland Elves. In origin those Nandorin Elves who never passed west of the Misty Mountains, but remained in the Vale of Anduin and in Greenwood the Great, later Mirkwood

Stoors: A breed of Hobbit. Broader and heavier in build, they had large hands and feet. They preferred flat lands and riversides. Said to be less shy of men, they lingered by the banks of the Great River Anduin before moving north.

Stone-trolls Yet another sort of troll, this time the kind that Bilbo & co. encountered west of Rivendell. Stonier now than before.

Seems time has passed for a new theme. Which as the last poster I get to pick

Hows about the next theme being: Dwarves (all answers must be names of dwarves, places and events related to dwarves, or objects associated with dwarves, clear?)

She begins:

Dain- the cousin of Thorin who came in from the Iron Hills just in time for the battle of Five Armies and who became King Under the Mountain after him.

Stunted People- a collective name for the dwarves. Bit offensive, really.

Esgaroth or Laketown, where Thorin and Co. first went for aid on their quest.

Seven Fathers of the Dwarves: Made by the Valar Aulė. Illśvatar would not allow them to become the Firstborn, he decreed that they should sleep under stone until such time as the Elves awakened.
